First Full Day in Tours

This morning we had some free time before an introduction to French history and culture at 1:30pm, which we used to plan some of our mega-trip to Italy/southern France. The train schedules, etc. are very complicated and a lot of work to schedule!

After that, we had a 30-minute talk from Professor Spielmann (in English) about French history and Touraine history. Interesting! We then had a short (and rather uninformative) tour of some spots in the city, including the nice, but touristy historical district. We then had to utilize our French to negotiate for cell phones and phone plans, which was actually pretty fun and a good experience. After a short trip to the bookstore and a market, I am back at the hotel relaxing for awhile before dinner. Plans to watch USA vs. England at a pub later!
